Apordoc and Cine en Ruta, which organizes the Márgenes Festival (Madrid), have announced the opening of applications for the 7th edition of RAW – Residencies Arché→Work, an itinerant creative development and training program dedicated to non-fiction cinema and experimentation. Applications are open from May 19 until June 9, 2025.
RAW continues to consolidate itself as a creative space and a key platform for new talent in Ibero-American cinema, particularly for proposals with a strong artistic and authorial vision that is consistent with the times we live in. It is aimed at filmmakers with feature film and writing projects at different stages of development, including pre-production and editing, as well as critics with non-fiction film projects from Ibero-American countries.
The selected projects will have access to a course divided into four main stages:
- Participation in Arché, between October 20 and 26, in the context of Doclisboa – International Film Festival;
- Artistic residency in Lisbon, from October 27 to November 13, in collaboration with local cultural partners;
- Participation in Doc’s Kingdom, an international seminar in Odemira (Portugal), from November 14 to 19;
- Participation in MÁRGENES/WORK, from November 21 to 25, as part of the Márgenes Festival in Madrid.
There are two types of residency:
- Creation Residencies: A program for emerging directors with feature film projects at any stage of production, offering a space for work, development and reflection in the context of the Arché Doclisboa and Márgenes/Work laboratories.
- Critics Residencies: A residency for film critics focused on non-fiction cinema, through immersion in the programming of the Doclisboa festival and the MÁRGENES/WORK program, as well as developing their projects under the guidance of a specialist tutor.
During the residencies, participants will be accompanied by professionals in the field, in an environment focused on collective reflection, authorial creation and exchange between participants.
Registration is free and must be done through this link.
